New House Update - 3

 

I don't think much has changed in the annexe over the past couple of weeks, but everywhere is a bit cleaner, the curtain poles are all up and the wardrobe was assembled.  Alan managed to unbox the boxed-in toilet long enough to be able to replace the old toilet seat and then reassemble the boxing in, so that is much better now.

Everywhere seems lighter and brighter and since this photo was taken my old shop fitting bookcase is now in the living room, stood at the end of the sideboard ... there should even be books on it by the middle of next week ... a house is not a home until the books are unpacked in my opinion 📚😀


One day the curtain pole was up at the front door ...

... and the next day the Smeg was in place.

The sofa and bed are both arriving next Tuesday now, so hopefully I will be well enough to hang around at the house until they arrive, the plan is to be stacking books on the bookcase while I wait.


Or I could supervise Alan planting one or two of these Courgette plants.  Here they are 4 days after seed sowing ...


... then one day later.


And then another couple of days.  The beauty of sowing seeds late is that they romp away, now I just need the sunshine to come back so that they can go outside, where all good Courgettes plants live.

Yay ... homegrown vegetables 🤞

    1. Haha, they do don't they 🤣 It was all I could come up with to support them as they grew so tall so quickly and weren't very strong. 😁

  4. I really love the doors and windows leading out to the patio. So light and bright. And the wood doors are such a beautiful contrast. You are really creating a peaceful retreat.

    1. I felt I needed to keep everything light and fresh to keep the space looking as large as possible. The nice high ceilings help a lot 😀

  6. Those are some happy courgette plants. Late bloomers do well, don't they? And yes, every home requires books. Exciting news about your sofa and bed soon arriving. Almost there!

    1. Without the French doors and high ceilings it would be a lot smaller looking wouldn't it. I do love the light airy feel of my new place 😀

  12. it's all looking beautiful and I have serious Smeg envy! I echo the 'Yay!' to home grown veg, Sue, we had our first allotment cabbage and new potatoes this week and they were delicious. Thanks for the lovely pics :)

  13. It is astounding how quickly a plant can grow in a day, isn't it? Everything looks very nice. So the idea of the curtain rod at the front door is that a heavy drape can be pulled across the door to block drafts? That really is a clever little detail.
